Question

Which one of the following species exhibits the paramagnetic character with bond order 1.5? *​

Answer 1

Answer:

kindly provide options!

Answer 2

$C_{2} ^{+}$, $F_{2} ^{+}$ are the species which exhibit paramagnetic character

Explanation:

• Paramagnetic character posses by those species which has at least one unpaired electron

• Diamagnetic character posses by those species which has paired electron.

• BO (bond order)of any species calculated by taking difference of no of electron in bonding and anti bonding orbital divided by 2

• In both these species unpaired electron are present so it exhibit paramagnetic character.
• BO of both $C_{2} ^{+}$and  $F_{2} ^{+}$ species is 1.5
